	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Labor and materials (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Labor and materials is a standard phrase in a contract for construction in which the buyer agrees to pay the contractor based on the work performed by the contractor's employees and sub-contractors, and for materials used in the construction (plus the contractor's mark up), no matter how much work is required to complete construction.
		Labor and materials contracts are not common because of the lack of an upper limit for the price paid by the buyer.
		Many labor and materials contracts also carry a guranteed maximum price, which puts an upper limit on what the contractor may charge, but also allows the buyer to pay a lesser amount if the job is completed more quickly.

		The Department of Energy has announced that it intends to create three to five Nanoscale Science Research Centers to be co-located with major DOE user facilities.
		The challenge put forth in the DOE call for proposals was to "Maximize resources and promote multidisciplinary interaction, to enable research of a scope and depth beyond current national capabilities." The premise is that current scientific infrastructure is not well suited for research or education at the nanoscale.
		ORNL's Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences has been recommended for construction funding by BES ($24 M in FY 03); construction reviews and approvals for other centers are in process.
